EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color woodcut print, titled "Taira no Kanemori (Mother with her child and an elderly woman)," was created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu between 1767 and 1769. The scene depicts a tender moment in the life of a mother as she cradles her young child, while an elderly woman, adorned with traditional Japanese attire and wearing a pair of eyeglasses, looks on with a warm and approving expression. The title "Taira no Kanemori" is believed to be a reference to a famous poem by the Heian Period poet, Fujiwara no Tsurayuki, which speaks of the blessings and joys of motherhood. The use of vibrant colors and intricate detail in this Ukiyo-e masterpiece captures the essence of the Far East and the beauty of family life during the Edo Period. The mother's gentle gaze and the elderly woman's wise countenance convey a sense of love, tenderness, and the passing of generations. The inclusion of the elderly woman, who is often seen as a symbol of good fortune and longevity, adds an additional layer of meaning to the image. The use of spectacles in the elderly woman's portrait was a common motif in Japanese art of the time, reflecting the increasing prevalence of reading and literacy among the population. The inclusion of such details adds authenticity and depth to the scene, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or fine art images. This beautiful and evocative print is a testament to the enduring themes of motherhood, love, and the passage of time, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo Period.
